What kind of teaching? There's a big difference between elementary school and being a university professor - from I heard the latter can actually be quite interesting.
I am going to go into a career involving computers because I LIKE computers and technology, not because I'm a materialist and that's the way to get 12% more salary. I like the geek culture and I would hate to live in an environment where my Linux/particle physics/math jokes would be met by blank stares. I would hate to live an environment where other people's jokes would be met by my blank stares. Computers are my interest and nothing can change that, so going into a career anywhere else would be putting a square peg into a round hole - constant frustration and a general lack of job satisfaction would ensue.
Also, I disagree with the idea that weapons will be scattered around the ship's hull. That's by definition, increases your weapon hardware expenditure by 100% at least (two weapons on opposite sides can still draw from the same energy pool though). You can control your direction to point at your enemy even while your orbit is speeding you along in some completely different direction, so pointing all weapon forward works best.
In combat, you want to minimize the surface area the enemies can fire at, to increase the chances that they'll miss. If your ship is at the back and it's elongated, you can point it in the right direction and you'll have a very low surface area in which the enemies can hit with the same firepower. You could say that with computer assisted aiming everyone has 100% accuracy, but in reality that's way incorrect - space battles will not be occurring at 200m distance like in Star Trek, you'll start firing at a hundred thousand kilometers, where there's a mandatory 700ms sensor delay.
To be perfectly honest, murder is probably a lesser crime. You can kill someone in a fit of rage, or by accident. You can be defending yourself. You can't accidentally rape your kids, even foster kids.
I agree with this, and so does the legal system - hence the different categories of premeditated murder, second degree murder, manslaughter, etc. If I'm reading my sources correctly, even premeditated murder gets little over 10 years.

It's all about your view on punishment. If you think prisons are there to hold prisoners until they are no longer dangerous and potentially help them rehabilitate (like I do), it's horrifying. If you see prisons as a madhouse where you throw people down the chute and forget about them, however, prison rape is just part of the environment. It's not a good viewpoint, but it's one that many people unfortunately have.
Maybe here people are much more tough-on-crime than I am. In Finland, at least, murder gets you locked in for only 10 years. And yet they're below the US in overall murder rates.
I find it hard to imagine that they're now suffering anything close to the way in which being locked in a 3*3*2 meter cage for half the day is suffering. 44 years is way more than I would give even for a double murder.
So Apple just gets to assume that I know what the license is going to say? I strongly disagree with that. Such thinking assumes that all software licenses are the same, but they aren't - some are unrestrictive, some let the company electronically search your hard drive at any time. If you assume that customers know what's inside the license text, they're all going to assume the worst and other, less restrictive forms of software will suffer.
And that is how a good operating system, or a good anything in fact, should be designed. Easy to use, but lets you ease in to the more complicated but powerful features at your own pace.
Even if Apple is willing to refund you, you still have to go to the effort of returning the product if you don't like the license. It's like mailing someone something and then saying "if you don't mail this back within 30 days, you must pay $500". It's illegal and this should be illegal for the same reasons.
No, it would not be easy to reverse engineer the salt string. Even if you know half of the source text and the hash, that does not make it much easier to get the second half of the source. You would still have to try all possible combinations. The secret salt could be:
Most Linux distributions tell you in the help files that it's GPL software and that there is source code available, and you can ask whoever distributed it to you for the source code.
Of course, I don't know whether that technically counts as following the GPL's requirements.
Aside from some, like the school shooting, they are all major world events. The world is just going through a period of temporary lack of sudden activity.

That's not entirely true
It's not even that hard. Just number them starting from 0 so the last one is only 12. Then when you add another make it 14. Problem solved.

Yes, you can try, but I doubt le copyright office would be happy about that.

Nah, you can get all the closed-source goodness on Linux here
